A Dog Day (Hardback)

A hilarious and heart-warming classic for all ages

Walter Emanuel

The timeless classic that has charmed generations

'Quite the best dog story ever written' Guardian
'One of my favourite books of all time' Jilly Cooper

1.25pm. Upstairs into dining-room. Family not finished lunch yet. Young Mr Brown throws a bread pellet at me, hitting me on the nozzle. An insult.

I swallow the insult.

A Dog Day is narrated by a lovable scamp of a terrier as he goes about his day rolling in mud, eating what he shouldn't, and generally wreaking havoc - all while keeping the Brown household wrapped around his paw.

Featuring Cecil Aldin's delightful original illustrations, A Dog Day is filled with warmth, humour and more than a little bit of mischief. First published in 1902, it's a timeless classic that continues to enchant readers of all ages.
